Listen to the Call with Joshua Satterfield!

Joshua Satterfield of Charleston, SC can solve the Rubik's Cube in about 21 seconds. That's 353rd on the World Cube Association's  official list of the fastest single solves.

At his first competition in Trumbull, Conn., he solved the cube in less than one minute.

He has competed in the U.S. Open 2007 Rubik's Cube Competition and has traveled to Budapest, Hungary with his family to compete in the Rubik's Cube World Competition where the cube was born. Wonder Works even donated part of its sales to help him fund the trip.

The cool thing is, Joshua just turned 14.

How Did Joshua Get Started?

"Joshua got a Nintendo DS for Christmas, 2005," says his dad Jay Satterfield, a self-employed insurance broker. "He solved all the games he had and wanted more. I told him I would get him more games if he would quit biting his fingernails, but instead he just picked up the Rubik's Cube."

Joshua loved the challenge and started studying different methods of solving the cube. He compiled his studies in a three-ring binder and memorized hundreds of algorithms.

After he figured out how to solve the cube, he started entering cube-solving tournaments.

Then he studied the methods of a pioneer in cube solving, Jessica Fridrichs, a professor in the computer and engineering department at the State University of New York-Binghamton.

"That's when I started getting fast," Joshua says.

He's been to competitions in Florida, Atlanta and New Jersey where participants do five solves and the official time is designated by averaging the middle three solves.

At tournaments, contestants also solve the cube one-handed and solve cubes that are 4-by-4-by-4 and 5-by-5-by-5. They also solve Rubik's Magic, a mechanical puzzle.

On official lists compiled from results of World Cube Association-sanctioned tournaments, Joshua ranks 281 in the world at one-handed solves, 324 at the 4-cube puzzle, 176th at the 5-cube puzzle and 70th at Rubik's Magic.

How Did He Get So Good?

Joshua is blessed to have very supportive parents who believe in encouraging their five children to follow their passion. They place high priority on home education and stress learning by experience, rather than by sitting at a desk.

Before Joshua even started school, Jay & his wife Kami, realized the traditional school schedule would not fit with their schedule. So they committed to educate their children at home, allowing them to explore any area of interest because of their belief that God has a plan for each child's life. They felt they need to always be available to help them succeed.

Yet they had no idea where learning to solve the Rubik's Cube would take Joshua. Jay challenged him to learn how to solve it, even though he had no idea of how to do it. Then when he figured it out, Jay challenged him to do it faster.

When Jay and Joshua searched the internet for faster methods to solve the cube, Jay discovered official competitions and told Joshua if he could solve it in less than a minute, he would take him to one.   

That was all it took for Joshua to be consumed with the project for days. He had to memorize many algorithms which served as math for the week.

When he broke a minute, the family was off to New York for their very first competition! Since then they have traveled quite a bit and they are very excited about what the Lord has in store for Joshua's future.

Jay Satterfield, Joshua Satterfield & Greg Cesar

When I saw what Joshua could do at our Entrepreneur Days 2008 home business conference in Atlanta, I asked him to demonstrate his skill from the stage for our guests during our Saturday night program.

The crowd loved him! 

One of our speakers, Adwords expert Greg Cesar, even challenged him by solving the cube behind his back. Greg did it but not near as fast as Joshua.

So I asked Joshua if he would be interested in teaching a class for anyone who might be interested and he agreed.

The class is only $47 

and will be recorded for you to watch online repeatedly.

The deadline to register is midnight, Sunday, October 5.

So grab your seat here at this unique learning experience!

Yes! I want to take Joshua's Rubik's Cube Class!
